Wonderful to see my colleague Simon Constable featured in this web report (Simon on the WSJ newsroom floor noting the CofD3 stats) constructed by the infamous web buccaneer Kim Dotcom, the impressario of the pirate site MegaUload. It is a pleasure to see that Mr. Dotcom now only surfs the web, he can play the web to championship level. The detention will slow the results, and we can assume someone has now passed Megaracer. Still, a grand record, and all the sweeter because of the allegation that Mr. Dotcom cheated the system to run up his kill records -- just like Captain Kirk fixing the computer simulation at Star Fleet Academy to win the Kobayashi Maru scenario). (Mention also that Dotcom has a rep in the gamer world as a vindictive sore loser: surprise!) I have tried to manage the Xbox controls. It requires eye-hand coordination beyond the reach of a middle-aged dad. Am seeking Misha Glenny to follow up on the MegaUpload case, the new new world of virtual piracy. Below find the report from Auckland, New Zealand on the indictment of Mr. Dotcom (aka Kim Schmitz) and colleagues, in addition to a glimpse of their automobile park and former rented mansion.
Mr. Dotcom has a strange resemblance to Humpty Dumpty.
John attempted to make my daily visit on Friday when one of my anti-virus softwares redirected me to this report. At the risk of my own system I offer the following.
“You've received this alert because Trusteer Rapport identified that the page you intended to visit has been found to deliver malicious software, often known as an Exploit kit or Drive-by-download. We provide this protection to prevent you from becoming a victim of online fraud.

AS a point of reference Trusteer Rapport is a 2nd level anti-virus software my bank offered me.
Please clean the site so I can again become a regular visitor.
